Te Atatu Food Truck Friday - THIS Friday - July 7th
SADLY, TE ATATU FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THIS JULY 7TH EVENT DUE TO THE FORECASTED HEAVY RAIN AND WIND. IT IS TOO RISKY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
THEY ARE BACK ON OCTOBER 6th. YOU CAN SAVE THE DATE AT www.facebook.com....
Te Atatu Food Truck Fridays is back THIS Friday (July 7th) for a midwinter Matariki special event. There will be a selection of Auckland’s best street food along with the Te Atatu repair café.
July 7th – Winter hours 5pm – 8pm – Te Atatu South Community Centre.
The food trucks joining us on the night will be:
- Captain Kai Moana - serving up classic NZ kaimoana goodness
- Woodspirit - Woodfired sourdough traditional Turkish pides.
- Jo Bro’s Burgers – Classic burger perfection.
- K-Pork Korean Barbeque - Korean barbeque (bulgogi)

Also, on the night we will have FREE facepainting, FREE Matariki crafts making star jars, FREE Hotshots photo booth inside the main hall and a free plants swap café with Anjali inside the repair cafe.
Come grab some tasty food and soak up the community vibes. Plenty of seating inside or outside. Parking available on site. Walking or cycling up makes it even easier.
A great way to spend a Friday night.
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
